This, however, is the Athletic and Aesthetic (A&A) Thread…..

if you’re being serious(?), i think it’s a tow-rope for wakeboarding!

My point is that as a male do you really have the right or authority to defend a female argument

I think I see where you’re coming from (or should I say “there from whence you are coming”) but I had this thing with a couple of mates in a pub (it was harmless enough banter by the way) recently, where I pulled them up on a particularly sexist comment. There weren’t any women around but I just thought what they’d said was a bit neanderthal. Now I wasn’t being a raving member of the PC brigade (whatever that is) but just thought they needed reminding that just because there aren’t any women around, it doesn’t automatically give them the right to be misogynistic.

Likewise, if someone made a racist comment in a pub, I’d like to think I’d pull him or her up on it…unless he was a 6 foot tall and tough looking skinhead in which case, I’d be staring at my feet (ashamedly).

I’m arguing that it’s threads like this that reduce female participation on this site and make it the slightly sad, FHM-ish bastion of {abusive language removed} online behaviour that it is

If you have a look at TriTalk, a site which is pretty evenly split between the sexes, they too have a long running thread of A&A (a male one and a female one). They don’t seem to suffer from any reduction in female participation due to the scantily clad male and female form being appreciated. Your arguement is flawed mr BWD.

Breakneckspeed – dont feel offended by BWD comment that you dont use comprehensible English, I understood what you were saying no problem.

And unlike BWD I am going to sit back and admire the last three pages of A&A before the ride home, what a great way to finish the working week. I hope I see some female cyclists on way home and not just the normal 20 or so males I normally see, shame.

BWD – I’m goign to keep count of all the female cyslists I see over the next week and report back to you next friday with numbers, watch this space. Riding on saturday and sunday so I might have to use my toes too. I hope the figure is high but I reckon its going to be the same kind of ratio of men to women who post on STW.

Or if you’re being mischievous, it could be the handle of a whip…no?

I hate, and I mean absolutely without equivication hate having Thought Police in my life.

If I want to look at a person on or off line I will. If by so doing I feel that it may offend, or I subsequently become aware that my behaviour is offending someone, then I will make a value judgement as to how to deal with it dependant upon the prevailing circumstances at the time. I really don’t need someone else poking their nose in, as all to frequently happens nowadays.

BWD that means you, and currently I am not aware of anyone, you apart who is offended by my actions. My value judgement therefore is to totally ignore what you have to say, as I don’t feel it has any relevance to me or to those whom my actions may effect. By all means anyone who is genuinely offended by my viewing of this thread please let me know, so I can consider it.

In the meantime back to glopping……

For self-flagellation? Its all that self abuse you know.

Damn! Broke my own rule.

….if the thread would stay within remit then it’s not too bad, but it took what, 4 posts, to revert to the usual spaff-a-thon

In deference to the above accusation that pics are becoming too FHM, I apologise for posting a pic of the delightful Ms Hollywood in a shot, which she has sanctioned for press and pr use, where she is exiting a swimming pool. I shall endeavour to find a much less flattering one of her all hot and bothered on the Hockey field. I am sure I would much prefer a nice pic of me red faced, sweating and out of breath “60 minutes in” rather than one that makes me look nice.

Off to find my hairshirt.

Anyone want a sausage buttie? I’ve made two, but tbh, after the first one, I just don’t fancy the other one. Nowt wrong with it, just a bit too much right now. I’m having an apple.

It’s there if anyone wants it.

Please, RB. HP?

I’ll have it, all that self abuse has made me hungry

cripes – got any more of fiona? 🙂

(tell her to lose the reflectors as well!)

This made me lol but don’t click if you are offended by muscular nudes, NSFW:

Linky

It’s my “entitlement” to ask (politely might I add) that at least one post on STW is “a bit of fun” without having to trawl through a load of PC drivel.

You’re entitled to ask but you’re unlikely to get :o)

got any more of fiona?

loads on the site!

No competition for Anneke there then!

They can’t be your photos SFB, they’re from the front 😀

You could always wash it down with a beer.

This thread is now exhausted. At least, I am.

wow.

Can we please stop posting NSFW links, folks? Rather see this stay totally clean!

you wouldn’t if you’d clicked through!

Na, let the people post porn if they want, because for all your pious sermonising and equivocation, that’s really what they want, isn’t it? I’m going to ride my bike now and be both athletic and aesthetic and sweaty :-/

BWD – do we get pics

That’s why I don’t read these threads not enough pics for me to look at and appreciate 😉 all these girls pics make me feel inadequeate 😉 Big sigh…

well you can perve over BWD‘s butch form :o)

Jeez, some people need to lighten up. Are you saying on a forum mainly populated by blokes, on page 4 of a thread expicitly about good looking men and women you can’t post a link with thorough and frank warning not to click if you would be offended by it? Wow.

LOL! No wonder he’s bitter! 😆

No-one’s getting the sausage buttie. I bunged it in the fridge, and am about to eat it now. Too late.

I met a very nice young lady in the swimming pool. I think she ogled me. I, of course, treated her with utmost respect, and treated her as a person, not an object.

There is a possibility she may be coming again next week! 😀

I hope she does not in any way objectify me though. I’m a person, not simply a sex-object…

No, I don’t mind being a sex-object; it’s just that I like a nice chat and a cup of tea as well! 🙂
